With OO-PHP, you can dramatically speed up the coding process, and re-use code much more effectively. OO-PHP stands for Object Oriented PHP. This means it uses objects, which are collections of properties and methods, rather that a bunch of variables and functions.

Also, as the object is stored in an external file, it can be accessed from any of your pages and used anywhere on your site. This makes objects especially useful. A good example of this is using an object to connect to and interact with a database. In this example, I will use MySQL; but the beauty of objects is that you can change that one file and all the pages will be updated, which makes changing between databases easy! More >
